Update On Aleister Black's Theme Music
Added 2020-09-29 16:16:58 +0000 UTCMuch has been made of Aleister Black's new theme, but Fightful has heard a little more on the situation.
One wrestler reached out to us to note that Black himself had a hand in picking or switching the new theme, after seeing much of the blame cast on WWE online. WWE has been slowly moving away from CFO$ themes, but we do know of multiple wrestlers who were able to keep their themes after rejecting new ones.
We've yet to confirm the decision with Black or WWE, but have had it corroborated from multiple Raw stars since this morning

The talent should def be proactive in helping to come up with or influencing their themes as much as possible, every bit as much as anything they do in ring or their gear.

2020-09-29 16:24:58 +0000 UTCThat seems definitely possible because Aleister was definitely moving to the ring with purpose along with the song.

2020-09-29 16:22:09 +0000 UTCIn defence of defrebel, BElllA (one of the producers) DID say that they're trying to get as much input from the wrestlers as they can when creating their themes. Hopefully that collab continues and we see more character influences in the music.
